Long text
Thank you Railey for typing it out in such a detailed manner. I am sure if the commentators take these points seriously, it will improve the commentating a lot.
And even if finding out things about players and maps can be reasearch-heavy, thats exactly what a colour caster should be doing; And with people like Doomsday, who already know many maps naturally, it shouldnt be too difficult. It is rather the question of allowing it or not - But then again, a healthy balance should be found, and as Loctav (or was it Loctav?) stated it, the commentating should be newbie friendly for the most part. But then again, there sometimes is a sudden moment of silence for a minute where teams are deciding which map to pick, where discussion like that would be very welcome in my opinion.

Regarding the interactivity with the participants and audience, well - it was difficult for the majority of the matches due to a very crammed schedule in which one game followed the next one. But now with the knockout-stages, i would indeed welcome pre or postgame interviews a lot. Same goes for interacting with the audience naturally, now that there is time between two matches.

But that should not sound critical at all. As many people have already stated, the commentating has improved greatly over the course of the tournament! I am looking forward to the upcoming matches :)

Good luck everyone that is participating for the upcoming rounds!

Canada for the past few years seemed to always have a really tough group apparently... So Canada hypee hope they can make it far this year.

Will you publish stats on how many banners for each team were bought? Would be nice to see teams with biggest "following" on here.

Oh no. Hong Kong vs Germany....

If I remember correctly... Hong Kong lost to Germany back in 2013.

If you would have told me that USA vs. Taiwan would have been a first round matchup in the knockout stage two months ago, I would have slapped you for stupidity. Crazy how things change. Scorev2 has really impacted some teams this tournament.

Not like Taiwan would beat Austria with Score v1... They lost the maps against 3/4 FCs, mangekyou would probably be close (as it was now) but other than that Austria would still win, they are just top tier team in disguise.

Forz's rank decay strategy seems to have fooled the community into thinking Austria isn't a top tier team kek.
kuur0
Rank doesn't mean a whole lot in a tournament/multiplayer setting in the first place lol... Other than seedings maybe.

edit: for now
buny
rank means a lot more in the higher stages of the tournament, because the maps are harder



in the early stages, lower ranks are more than capable of fcing the maps with good accuracy. I'd say the rank gap in the finals will be quite clear

Are you a psychic and knew Taiwan was going to be grouped with a team like Austria two months ago?

It depends a lot on the map pool. Players like Hvick/WWW/Rafis/Axarious/Elysion/etc are capable of playing much much more difficult maps than most of the lower ranking players. It's feasible to pick a map pool such that only these players are even capable of passing the map. I expect lower ranked players to get weeded out as the map pool gets progressively more difficult but also expect extremely under-ranked players like omgforz to stay strong.

You saying "Scorev2 has really impacted some teams this tournament." implied that Taiwan (or USA) would have different standing if OWC used Score v1, I just replied to it saying that Austria would still win with Score v1, if I was wrong in my understanding then I don't understand why you'd say anything about Score v2 in the first place.

Yeah they picked Freedom Dive as a warmup and cptnXn, Cookeasy were the only one who could actually play it xD, not too sure about blue zenith though, I think the other warmup was a different map

After said survey among all participants, we will push hidden v2 to multiplayer again. Far over 90% agreed with going there. (I think it's on CE already)

Canada intentionally took that to 9 maps because a win by any method other than dank memes would not be a win at all. #calculated

I think you should update the "home" and the scheme of the OWC after each match. It would be better ;)

I don't think so, people(I) may want to watch the matches on the VoD without spoiling themselves by looking at the wiki.
That's also why I'd like people in this thread to put results into spoilerboxes cause I checked this thread to see if Loctav already updated the wiki(like he announced last time) and if I could open it up without danger and LOOK AT THAT SPOILERS.
